The Virgin Suicides
JoriHermsenProductions
A quest on the border between life and death.
Tim, Joe, Kevin and Peter grow up in a religious village in Michigan, America, in the 1970s. When six girls next door commit suicide within a short period of time, the boys' lives change forever. The years that follow are dominated by guilt, doubts and a desire to understand the incomprehensible. Gradually they get lost in their search and come to a standstill in time. They will have to let go of the past, but not without one last attempt to reconnect with the Lisbon sisters.
“We got together every night, the boys and I. We looked out on the house from the tree house that stood in Peter Sissen's garden. We searched every day. We're still looking. Everything changed when the girls decided to go.”
Specially for Jori Hermsen Productions wrote Melissa Knollenburg a moving play, inspired by the book of the same name by Jeffrey Eugenides. The Virgin Suicides is a location performance in which time seems to win over memory and blur the line between love and obsession.
